In Tense is the latest record from New York- based composer and bassist Harish Raghavan. The album's six tracks were written especially for the exceptional band of drummer Eric Harland, guitarist Charles Altura, Joel Ross on vibraphone and marimba, and Morgan Guerin on woodwinds. Raghavan has forged an impressive reputation and is widely lauded for his work as leader. Inspiration for this new album came in 2020 from the globally shared experience of the pandemic. In Tense is a commanding and immersive oeuvre that enchants from start to finish. Harish says: "the album is called In Tense and for me that means trying to stay present and in the moment." This record offers that mindful clarity through its captivating compositions and hypnotizing intensity.[info sheet from distr.]
